Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium Glutamate, also known as MSG, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, one of the most abundantly occurring amino acids.

MSG is obtained by fermentation of starch, sugar cane, sugar beets, or molasses, but it naturally is present in seaweed broth, but also in many vegetables, cheeses, and mushrooms.

Aspekty techniczne

Monosodium Glutamate contains a single amino acid from glutamic acid and is not considered crude protein content. It is insoluble, and not hygroscopic in common organic solvents either. Responds well to processing, as it does not decompose when cooked. In the presence of sugar, it changes its color to brown when high temperatures are also applied.

It is usually available as a monohydrate, a white crystalline powder, odorless and soluble in water.
